Thanks to Cameron for sharing this one!

This one has a tart passionfruit scent with that mineral-esque roasted oolong scent when steeped. The passionfruit flavour is very realistic and right at the forefront. I barely even notice the oolong, and I don’t mind.

I would order this in a heartbeat! If I recall correctly, Cameron said this only comes around at certain times of year, so I’ll have to keep an eye out.

You recall correctly, this is one of their seasonal teas. I think it’s autumn?

Yeah, I don’t think that Lupicia ships to Canada. However, if you find a workaround, let us know.

I think since they started operating the website from Hawaii (the only store located in the US now) they don’t offer international shipping anymore. Australia usually does ship internationally, but theirs is still not available due to COVID.

Of course, I don’t mind forwarding it to you, but the combined cost would probably be rather prohibitive ha ha. :O

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
